Does your child want to showcase his or her skills playing an instrument, dancing, singing, performing magic, reciting poetry, doing comedy or acting?

Auditions can be submitted online (preferred) or performed live. Students can perform solo or in groups. If we receive many solo submissions the panel of judges might suggest collaborations to allow as many performers as possible to participate in the show. Please note that all performers must be available to participate in the dress rehearsals.

Please INCLUDE the following information in the email:
- Your name, email, and phone #

- Are you willing to be part of a group performance?

2) LIVE: Due to limited time and space for live auditions, we are urging all parents to submit videos online. For those who cannot, we will hold a live auction on March 14th from 2:30pm - 5:30pm in the library. A sign up sheet is available in Ms Powell's office NOW. Spots are limited so please sign up ASAP!

6th Annual Benefit & Auction: Request for Class Project

2/8/2018

 
Dear fellow TAG parents,
 
This year for our annual Benefit and Auction, we are asking each class to create a project that can be auctioned off.  Every dollar raised will directly benefit our children.
 
Each class project will feature some aspect of every child in the class.  Examples of possible projects are:
  • paintings/sculptures/photo mosaics/collages/sculptures
  • ceramic bowls made from the handprints of children
  • felt drink coasters
  • quilts
  • group caricatures
  • a collection of class favorites such as books/food/songs/funny quotations/jokes
  • a calendar 
  • custom Lego minifigures of each child
  • a travel guide to favorite locales
  • and many more! 

We’re looking for enthusiastic parent volunteers to take the lead for each class - to plan and execute each project.  It's a rare opportunity to spend time with the children and to see their imagination and creativity at work. 

If you are interested or have any questions please contact our Class Project Coordinator Michelle Macaraig (mom of 4th grade scholar Alexandra).

Sincerely,
Anna and Namita

6th Annual Benefit & Auction: Request for Fashion Show Models

Dear fellow TAG Parents,

We are very excited to announce the return of the children’s fashion show at the TAG Benefit on 4/28!  We are looking for two fun and outgoing scholars from each grade to participate (K-5 only due to limited clothing sizes).  The model requirements are:
  • the child should be energized and excited to participate 
  • the child should feel comfortable dressing independently or willing to accept assistance from a  parent volunteer
  • at least one parent must attend the Benefit and be a paid ticket holder
  • the child must utilize child care services provided for the evening

The fashion show will begin at 8pm and will last approx 10-15 mins.  Spots will be filled first come first serve. If you are interested in volunteering your child, please contact the Fashion Show Coordinator Jessica Zindren (mom of 1st grade scholar Stella).  Also please send a recent photo of your child (solely for identification purposes) as well as their name, grade, teacher, and current clothing and shoe sizes.   Lastly, all clothing worn by the models will be auctioned off for the benefit of TAG!   Looking forward to a great event!

Sincerely,
Anna and Namita
